Taming JavaScript—A Hands on Workshop
RWX / CDX
Fort Lauderdale · November 27 - 30, 2012
About this Presentation
JavaScript is a powerful language with great amount of flexibility that has often intimidated programmers and left them confused. To succeed with the language we have to move past these intimidations and confusing constructs. Once we learn what to avoid and the right constructs to use, we can enjoy the power and reap the full benefit of this highly powerful language.
Come to this day-long workshop to tame JavaScript. You will start by learning the useful parts of the language, you will learn the programming idioms, and the usage patterns. If you're using libraries like JQuery, the detailed examples and hands-on labs will help you better understand and make use of these libraries. Towards the end of the workshop, we will take a look at CoffeeScript and understand how it is a good way to efficiently write elegant JavaScript.
